Sox, I was checking Owen's backpack for school yesterday and found his Valentine treats from his class party. I totally spaced and forgot to send ANYTHING--and there are only six kids in his class.
!!!!!! This is a plot, in the middle of February, to break our will. That is what it is. Unfair, I say.
And there I was, apologizing to her teacher, who'd just said "Iris was crying because she didn't have her valentines to give to everyone" (we'd started making some, but burned them up on family and neighbor-friends.... and somehow, I thought it was optional.) NOOOO. Teacher concluded with "we can have another valentine's day whenever you're ready."
::headdesk::
Granted, there weren't 21 cards in her bag (How in the world do parents get Toddlers to "sign" 22 cards?) so I don't think I'm the only one who was scolded. Still - conspiracy!

::checks mailbox::cries:: She's still mad at me for also having a November birthday, isn't she? I may never get back in her good graces.
Happy Birthday, Jon!
Happy birthday, Jon!
Don't worry Sox, I also skipped Valentines for the kids this year, mostly because they were out sick anyway. But our school tends to say
if
you bring cards, bring them for the whole class, not you
must
bring them.
Speaking of preschool, they are filming something at our class today. Not sure what that means other than needing to sign a release form for each kid.
Perkins, I was just informed of a boondoggle courtesy of Thomson West that will bring me to Sonoma in early May. Mark your calendar!
I don't think valentines are allowed at the public school. thank dog. although I do have fond memories of decorating a shoe box for valentines each year. I hated the actual card getting.
My current work Dunkin has the worst layout EVER.
ION, mac is coming to have lunch with me adn to see my new work.
OH MY GOD why is it so cold in here?
Thank you Nilly, Tommyrot, Sox, Fiona, Theo, Sue, Jesse, Cashmere, Frank, Fred Pete, Sparky, Burrell and Perkins.
t whew!
We've got the big(ger) boss coming in from NYC today. I probably won't be able to poke in here much, so apologies if I don't thank everyone in a timely fashion.
You know you're getting old when you need to think for a moment to remember how old you are. Yikes!
